Cynics will point at big rebates and claim they mean the vehicle isn’t selling, but that just exposes them as auto industry noobs. A rebate is a powerful finance tool that helps dealers overcome obstacles like negative equity, poor credit, down payment requirements, and interest rate objections – and, ultimately, get a deal done.

If you’re dealing with any of the above, pay attention: these plug-in cars could get you behind the wheel of a new ride sooner than you think!

As I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Biggest EV incentive deals ..?” Not everyone qualifies for those. “Most stackable EV rebates ..?” Too much research. In the end, I went with national cash back offers and chose to present them in alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to read the article. Enjoy!

Audi Q4 E-Tron SUV | $5,000

2024 Audi Q4 E-Tron; via Audi.

Audi’s entry-level Q4 has long been a popular entry-luxe option for upwardly-mobile young adults looking step up from VW, and the latest Q4 E-Tron is no exception, offering a stylish upgrade from the more pedestrian ID.4. Through March 3rd, Audi will give buyers $5,000 to help the get into a new Q4 50 e-tron, Q4 55 e-tron, or Q4 Sportback e-tron.

Chrysler Pacifica | $7,500

The VW ID.Buzz may have raised the bar when it comes to electrification, the OG plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica minivan is still the king when it comes to cupholders, stow n’ go seating, and all the other practical, clever details that add up to remind you Chrysler invented these things.

Through March 3rd, you can get a $7,500 cash allowance plus up to $7,500 in Federal income tax credits on Pacific Plug-in Hybrid Select, S, and Pinnacle trim level vans – and that’s before any negotiations with your dealer.

Dodge Charger | $3,000

Wherever you find an Army recruiter slinging enlistment bonuses, you can almost bet your house there will be a salesman slinging high-powered Mopars nearby. As the auto industry transitions to electric, Dodge is hoping that some of those young new recruits, flush with cash, will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot.

That would be the new electric Charger – and without much credit history, Private Rock will be relying on rebate money to meet his money down requirement. Now through March 3rd, Dodge will help him get there with a $3,000 rebate.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe | $8,000

2024 Jeep Wrangle 4xe; via Stellantis.

Jeep buyers who are stretching into a new vehicle will find incredible deals on a capable new Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. With its 17.3 kWh battery, the Wrangler offers up to 22 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge for emissions-free driving in town and 49 MPGe with supreme off-road capabilities outside of town.

Now through March 3rd, Jeep is helping you get behind the wheel of a new Jeep Wrangler 4xe with $8,000 Total Cash Allowance. That’s enough to meet even a relatively high 20% down payment requirement and those score those snazzy blue tow hooks, too!

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe | $7,000

JGC 4xe; via Stellantis.

Looking for something a little more refined than that Wrangler? The deals are almost as good on the Grand Cherokee 4xe just a few feet away. Jeep dealers have $7,000 to help you get behind the wheel of one of those, too, and (again) that’s before the negotiations begin.

Kia EV6 | $19,500

Peter Johnson already did a great job covering this incredible cash back deal on Kia’s lickety-quick EV6, calling it a steal with nearly $20,000 off the MSRP. And, remember, the Kia EV6 was already a great deal – consider the context: a 2024 Kia EV6 GT starts at $61,600 (before discounts and incentives). A 2024 Ferrari Roma will run you about $245,000, while a new 2024 Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder starts at just over $300,000.

Of the three cars I just mentioned, the Kia is the quickest. Bet.

Kia EV9 | $11,000

Kia-EV9-output-US

Young families shopping for a high-value three-row SUV that won’t break the bank when it’s time to top it off will appreciate the Kia EV9 for being a three-row EV from a mainstream brand with a great warranty, normal doors, and minimal ties to fascism.

If that sounds like you, you’ve probably already checked out the Kia EV9. You’re not alone. Kia keeps setting EV sales records. This month, you can get $11,000 cash back on GT-Line, Land, Light Long Range, Light Short Range, and Wind trim levels, which won’t do much to slow down sales!

Mercedes EQS | up to $15,000

Mercedes AMG EQS
Mercedes AMG EQS; via Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz is globally renowned for its incredibly engineered Teutonic cruise missiles, and the AMG EQS is the company’s all-electric flagship, offering supercar levels of performance, industry-leading self driving capabilities, and a level of fit and finish matched only by Rolls-Royce, Lucid, and the cars at Riddler.

Unfortunately they styled their EVs to look more like suppositories that super sedans, and no amount of engineering can overcome ugly. As such, Mercedes’ electric engineering marvels have just been dying on dealer lots. To help turn the tide, Mercedes is offering huge discounts, subsidized interest rates, and loyalty cash in a bid to make something – anything – convince a curious MB buyer to take a flyer on an EQE or EQS.

Our own Michelle Lewis reported a $15,000 discount on the $148,700 AMG sedan, with lesser Mercedes scoring similar 10-15% discounts.

Nissan LEAF | $7,500

Nissan-LEAF
2024 Nissan LEAF; via Nissan.

The inspiration for this article was a hypothetical $9,140 Nissan LEAF deal. It’s less a deal for everyone and more a deal I hastily concocted while walking the floor of the 2025 Chicago Auto Show, but the fact remains that even with “just” $7,500 cash back, the $28,140 $20,640 Nissan LEAF is one of the most affordable new cars you can buy in the US. If you can score some additional local incentives and dealer discounts, so much the better.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and rebate deals above were sourced from CarsDirectCarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 13FEB2025. Despite my best efforts to filter these, some deals may not be available in your market, or be stackable with every other discount, or to every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.

Jackery weekend flash sale offers up to $1,200 savings on HomePower 3000 station and bundle at new lows starting from $1,499

Jackery’s Disaster Preparedness Sale running through September 16 is seeing up to 50% discounts across its power station lineup, complete with automatic 5% and 7% extra savings on orders over $1,300, as well as some free gifts accompanying the largest Explorer 5000 Plus series units. A standout, though, is the flash offer lasting only through the weekend on Jackery’s latest HomePower 3000 Portable Power Station at $1,499 shipped, which comes in a little under Amazon by $4. Since its release back in May, we’ve seen it brought down from its full $2,499 price tag to land between $1,899 and $1,699 during sales, with Amazon seeing it drop to $1,599 for the first time today (while the on-page coupon there takes things lower) and the brand’s direct site taking things under $1,500 for the first time while these flash savings last, giving you $1,000 in savings at the best new price we have tracked. The bundle on Jackery’s HomePower 3000 station and two 200W solar panels is also at a new low of $1,799 shipped, landing $100 under the previous low and $5 under Amazon’s current pricing.

For those who may not be aware, the Jackery HomePower 3000 station is the next generation of the brand’s popular Explorer 3000, with the immediate upgrade here being the switch to LiFePO4 batteries – in this case a 3,072Wh capacity worth – which also comes with a battery management system and protected by ChargeShield 2.0 tech. It provides 12 output ports (including a TT-30R port for your RV living) to connect to devices and appliances, supplying them with a steady stream of up to 3,600W and surging up to 7,200W when needed.

Jackery’s HomePower 3000 station boasts five primary means to get its battery recharged, like a standard AC outlet that can have it back to full in around 2.2 hours, alongside the 1,000W max solar input (which you can start working towards with the 400W solar bundle) that will take up to 11 hours, depending on weather conditions. There’s also the options to connect a gas generator, plug it into your car’s auxiliary port, or take advantage of its dual AC/DC charging for a 1.7-hour timeframe.

You can browse the entirety of Jackery’s September Disaster Preparedness Sale on the landing page here, including the HomePower 3000 station flash offers.

Enjoy smooth commutes and space-saving functionality on Heybike’s Horizon full suspension folding e-bike at $1,399

As part of Heybike’s ongoing End of Summer Sale, which is offering up to $649 savings on its e-bike lineup alongside the usual free gear bundles, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the brand’s Horizon Full Suspension Folding e-bike that is down at $1,399 shipped while the event lasts and comes with a free front and rear cargo basket bundle. This model usually fetches $1,999 outside of sales, which we’ve mostly seen brought down to $1,499 over 2025, with more recent drops to $1,399 and a one-time fall further to the $1,299 low that appeared during the brand’s anniversary sale back at the end of May. Aside from that one-time low, you’re otherwise looking at the best price we have tracked, which saves you $600 on one of the brand’s more premium space-saving commuting solutions.

EcoFlow’s short-term member-only deals drop DELTA 2 Max 440W solar bundle with free bag to new $1,282 low, more

Running parallel to its extended Labor Day Sale, EcoFlow is also having a Home Backup Sale through September 14 with up to 62% discounts, 5% and 7% bonus savings, and more. Among the lineup, we’re seeing shorter-term member-only pricing on four units lasting through September 7, with a standout being EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station coming with two 220W solar panels and a waterproof protective bag for $1,281.55 shippedafter using the code 25EFDCAFF at checkout for an additional 5% off your order. This particular bundle would cost you $3,276 were it at full price, with the bag missing from this bundle at Amazon, where it’s currently priced for $1,299, and has only gone as low as $1,234 in the past. Considering the bag costs $79, this combined 61% markdown for the next few days not only saves you a total $1,994, but gives you the best new price we have tracked. Head below for more on this and the other short-term member-only deals.

Amazon is offering the Schumacher 50A Hardwired Level 2 EV Wall Charger at $349.99 shipped. Since July we’ve seen it keeping at $450 at full price, which is also when we last saw a discount, with Prime Day having taken the cost down to $399, and was only ever beaten out by a $390 rate from October 2024 Prime Day. The deal we’re seeing here takes things lower than ever as the 22% markdown is cutting $100 off the going rate and landing it at a new all-time low price. Keep in mind that this is a hardwired station, with the more flexible variant also currently seeing a discount to $414 right now, down from $500.

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 48V (2 x 24V) 15-inch Cordless String Trimmer with two 2.0Ah batteries and dual-port charger for $91.19 shipped, which matches the pricing directly from the brand’s website. While it carries a $160 MSRP, we more often see it priced around $120 at Amazon, with discounts over the years having only gone as low as $96, which we last saw for an extended period in April through May. Today’s deal beats out all that have come before, though, with the 43% markdown here cutting $69 off the MSRP tag for a new all-time low.

Check out the new Mercedes-Benz GLC EV interior and its giant 39

The top-selling Mercedes model is going electric. With just two days until its official debut, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a first look at the interior of the new GLC. With a massive 39″ touchscreen, the brand’s largest to date, Mercedes promises the new GLC will take luxury driving to a new level.

Mercedes-Benz unveils the interior of the new GLC EV

“We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller,” Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius, said after offering an exclusive look at the new electric GLC in July.

Mercedes promises the new model “sets new standards” as its first vehicle to showcase the luxury brand’s updated design and advanced new tech.

Ahead of its debut on September 7, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the interior of the new electric GLC for the first time.

At the center is the new MBUX HYPERSCREEN. The 39.1″ floating touchscreen spans the entire dashboard. With over 1,000 LEDs and matrix backlight technology, Mercedes said the touchscreen boasts “exceptional clarity and vivid color.”

It also features intelligent zone dimming, which enables you to set two different brightness levels for separate displays. Mercedes said it has already filed a patent for the “groundbreaking” new feature. The only issue is that it won’t come standard.

Mercedes said the MBUX HYPERSCREEN will be optionally available. Lower-priced trim options are expected to receive a smaller screen.

Thanks to an extended wheelbase, the new GLC EV offers more interior space than the current model. With all the seats folded, the electric SUV offers 61.4 cubic feet of space, compared to the gas-powered model, which features up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space.

Like the interior, the exterior of the GLC EV will showcase the new Mercedes-Benz design. Källenius said the new model will debut with “a new face of the brand as the first in a family of upcoming vehicles,” which will include a revamped grille.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC will be based on an 800V architecture, offering charging speeds of up to 320 kW. According to Källenius, the electric SUV can regain around 260 km (161 miles) in about 10 minutes.

We will learn more info on September 7, when the new GLC makes its official debut. However, according to Car and Driver, which tested a prototype model, the new GLC is expected to provide a WLTP range of just over 400 miles from a 94.5 kWh battery. On the EPA scale, it will likely be closer to slightly over 300 miles of range.

Given that the current GLC 350e 4MATIC PHEV starts at $59,900 in the US, you can expect the all-electric version to be priced slightly higher at around $65,000.

Hyundai’s new EV plant was just raided by ICE, ‘hundreds’ taken into custody

Hyundai's new EV plant was just raided by ICE, 'hundreds' taken into custody

The massive new Hyundai EV plant outside of Savannah, Georgia, was raided by ICE on Thursday. Federal agents took hundreds of people into custody at the site, including executives from LG Energy Solution, Hyundai’s battery partner and co-owner of the plant.

Why was the Hyundai EV plant raided by ICE?

After celebrating the grand opening of its new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Georgia earlier this year, the Korean automaker said it’s “building the future of mobility with America, in America.”

On Thursday, a construction site for a new battery plant was raided by US immigration authorities. According to local reports, up to 475 people were arrested as part of an investigation into undocumented individuals. LG stated in a press release that Hyundai employees were among the hundreds taken into custody.

The South Korean Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Friday (via Yonhap News), claiming that the individuals were treated unfairly.

“The economic activities of our companies investing in the US and the rights and interests of our nationals must not be unfairly violated,” South Korean ministry spokesperson Lee Jae-woong said.

The ministry’s spokesperson added that “We conveyed our concern and regret through the US Embassy in Seoul today.” Korea sent officials to Washington and to the Hyundai plant to establish an on-site task force to deal with the matter.

The site spans nearly 3,000 acres total and includes an assembly facility, two battery plants, a weld shop, and several others for training, logistics, and more.

As the largest economic project in Georgia, the plant, including Hyundai’s suppliers, is expected to create nearly 40,000 jobs while drawing $12.6 billion into the state.

Hyundai currently builds the new 2025 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9, its first three-row electric SUV, at the Georgia facility.

The ICE raid came just days after US President Trump hosted South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the White House. It’s part of the administration’s aggressive crackdown on immigration. Lee has committed to investing another $150 billion in the US, including a new EV battery plant, as it seeks to ease trade tensions.

LG Energy Solution and the South Korean government are working to secure the release of employees and others in custody. Check back soon, as this is an ongoing story. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.
